Throw out the tech wages.
4qts. oil @ $4=16 (their price)
1 qt. trans $4 (their price)
crankcase $10 (their price
oil filter $3 (their price)
Total dealer cost $33 X 2 =$66

That's a good point if you knew what they actually paid for material.
Any who, let us know when you can get a dealership to do the 1K and 5K service for 66 bucks and then I'll be impressed.
Better yet, let us know when a dealer will do both Free to you... or give you free labor.

Of course HD will just hide the price of all this in the sale probably or just make it up on you later with 75 dollar tshirts and junk.

Not falling for their gimmick. I'm keeping my '09 Ultra and get my hands dirty.

That 5 year free warranty sounds tempting . My local dealers have 20 percent off in stock H/D merchandise and sit on Santa's lap and a free coffee. Took advantage of the 20 percent bought oil filters ,lube,plugs and etc.

A checkup is not a servicing.

Lots of shops provide free checkups. That's how they create billable servicing.

That's their cost for the materials used. Really! With their mark up along with the shop time it'll come out to about $600 for both appointments.

I find it hard to believe HD is offering a factory 5 year warranty. Sounds more like ESP.
